She will add the working week to a fortnight’s holiday. Her cousins visiting from Singapore will do their remote work alongside her and she aims to spend breakfast, lunch and evenings with family. “I always get comments from my grandmother that I work too much, even though I only work 8am to 6pm,” she said. “But they do understand. They are super-grateful. The fact that we get to come back, even for a couple of weeks, is better than nothing.”

At its best, a workcation can boost productivity while offering some of the relaxation of a holiday. Philippa Brackfield, a writer in London, often works alongside her husband from their Devon cottage. “He would say, when he’s working here he feels like he’s on holiday, because he can pop to the beach at lunchtime, go to the Green Dragon pub at six,” she said. Working amid nature — known as “green desking” — is a related trend that advocates have argued can spark creativity.

But some companies also believe “work from anywhere” weeks can boost productivity. Richard Beech is co-founder of Electroheads, a London-based e-bike and scooter ecommerce brand. About a year ago, he escaped to a house near the beach in Cornwall to launch the company’s website, which he achieved while also surfing every day. “It was a highly successful week, from my perspective,” he said by Zoom from a London office that was empty of staff on a remote-work Friday in summer. “I was surprised by the benefits for my mental health. It’s been a transformative experience.”
